envious, dismayed, intrigued and delighted
I spent the better part of my day reading all 37 pages of post on Vintage and Antique machines. What's to say, I was blown away by the variety of machines and the knowledge imparted about them. My daughter has a small collection of vintage machines. One includes a Singer Threadle and by looking up the serial # I think it is from 1910. Don't know if the cabinet is original to the machine or not. The cabinet is in sad shape and the drawers don't match. I have my mothers Singer from 1948 and we have others scattered through the house. I just wish I was as knowledgable is the people posting replies. These post have made me into a "wanter" ( is that a word?) and will start keeping a better eye out for what might be a treasure.

The word you're looking for is 'collector' but in my case, it could become 'hoarder' as they take up space I could use for fabric and I actually only use a few of them.
Post a picture of your machines. Is the 1910 a 66? The entry level cabinet on that one is rather basic.

I started "saving" one at a estate sale of a friends mother.....a Singer 319w and "fell in love"------and today I bought number 46------people tell me I "don't need" that many (only one doesn't work) Need has nothing to do with it----I enjoy sewing with them, looking at them, looking up their history, talking with others about them------sure, they take up alittle more room than salt and pepper shakers-----but not as much as elephants......
